Find a more conscientious installer. It's not that much more work to do it right.

What a mess. 

It sounds like keeping her or evicting her is a moot point right now because you currently have a health hazard, i.e. a house flooded with sewage. 

She'll have to move out anyway for the house to be repaired. I'd fix the house and then find a new tenant (assuming you can legally do so).  

Sorry this happened to you.

Hi @Michael W. 

Are you planning to attend the BP meeting in mid Jan?  If so, maybe we could talk then. Or if not, maybe we can grab lunch sometime.

I'd say: find another way other than borrowing from your father...especially since you have not done this before.  So many things could go wrong and you would risk losing his money.     Then what?!

One thing I'd add is: if possible, it's generally considered most efficient to complete work by task everywhere instead of skipping around room by room.

@Alex Brown 

"Talk me out of this deal"

Ok: WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY???????   :)

I, too, wonder why the rent is so low on a house that size.  There doesn't seem to be enough money there to make it worth the risks and effort. Be careful.

I agree with everything @Steven J. said. Very wise.
